Abdul Olugbala Shakur is a new Afrikan Political Prisoner who has spent the last 30 years in solitary confinement, while spending the past 23 years in Pelican Bay State Prison. He is The Chief Project Coordinator for GJU.

Some of his body of work includes:

Brotha Abdul was the original author of the historic “Agreement to End
Hostilities”adopted within the CDCr and many affected communities, and he
continues to work tirelessly to end racial rivalries and group conflicts.

Brotha Abdul is the author of one most effective blue-prints tp end
Black-on-Black gang violence in U.S. society: “Operation Hip-Hop Rescue.”

Following the systematic failures in governmental response during
Hurricane Katrina, Brotha Abdul authored one of the most comprehensive
emergency response plans to ensure a tragedy never visited our communities
again.

Following the release of the book The Bell Curve (a pseudo-scientific
work), which sought to criminalize the Black community in general, and the
Black male in particular, Abdul spearheaded the campaign to debunk this
attempted criminalization of his community and People. Out of this campaign came a series of
pamphlets which were collected into the perennial work, New Afrikan Criminology
101, a text book used not only in the classroom of Prof. Dorothy B. Fardan at
Bowie State University, but by activists and scholars in prison and society
alike as a tool to combat the racist criminalization of the Black community.

Brotha Abdul is the founder and creator of the Black August Memorial
Commemoration Committee (BAMCC), which is a movement that is spreading across
all the country. Though he is no longer the Chair of this movement, he is its
founder. He appointed Akili Mwalimu Shakur to chair the BAMCC, and he gives all
credit to Brother Akili, Abdul
Jabbar Caliph, Sista Kilaika Baruti, and others for the success of this
movement, they are primarily responsible for all the ground work.

Brotha Abdul is also the founder and creator of the George Jackson
University (GJU), which is a movement designed to eradicate:

Functional illiteracy among Black Prisoners

The Criminal/Gangster Mentality among Black prisoners

Cultural ignorance among Black Prisoners and

Prepare Black Prisoners for release back into the Black community. Dr
Donald R. Evans, Dr Ali Rashad Perkins, and many others have played a crucial
role in the development of this concept. Unfortunately, because Brotha Abdul
chose to name the project after George Jackson,the project for the last 12
years has been under attack, even though multiple court decisions ruled in
favor of the GJU. There is ongoing and pending litigation in multiple courts on
this very issue (note: on 2/19/15, a Superior Court Judge granted an
evidentiary hearing on the George Jackson University (GJU) issue).

Brotha Abdul has developed a number of very important proposals that
have had an influence in the Black community, for example:

“The New Afrikan Community Security Protocol Mandate.” This proposal is
a basic blue-print designed to stabilize the Black community, there are
activists across the country using his blue-print.

Then in 1996 he produced a comprehensive blue-print for eradicating
hunger in the Black Diaspora. In 2012, he revised that plan, which is now known
by “The Pan-Afrikan Global Commission Against Hunger.”

Another one of his proposals that was asked to revised: “The New Afrikan
Prisoner Outreach Resource Center.” This proposal is designed to prepare Black
Prisoners for release, and put an end to Black recidivism.
